turning your old seats from cloth to leather?

[AccordChic90]

has anyone done this with a kit? I can't find entire leather seats anywhere that are in great shape but found this sight

I had no idea they made anything like this. If anyone has done this, please let me know how it went and if possible show pics of the finished results.

Thanks!

There are some very good interior upholstery companies out there, www.katzkin.com being one of them....

My only concern with relatively less known companies is that you can't confirm the quality of the leather....

some leathers are much better (better texture, thicker, and more durable) than others.

If you can find a local place that have these for demo go and have a look and actually feel the seats...the last thing you want is some leather that makes vinyl look good.

g luck...keep us updated with that

thanks. They do send samples of the leather, and if you don't install them you can return them, so they say.

i'm gonna do the motor too. I don't think that's really that much when you think of having all leather interior. I used to make leather saddle bags and recover seats. Leather crafting is tedious and expensive.

from my experience leather seats require a lot of maintenance, and as lokuputha said it is better to get it done locally, that way you can be right there to "test" it... shipping is a pain and a hassle.
